Platinum vs. Lunar? Gold vs. Solar?

Funny story there. It just so happened that we had silver and gold in the item names, until one stormy night, the world planner walked in, his eyes glazed, his skin pale, and said to me, "you must...change...the swimsuit names...to lunar...and...solar......or the Others...they will--" before dropping to the floor...never to wake up again.

Alright, it didn't happen exactly like that.

Every now and again, one of the writers will have an epiphany and ask us to make a change at the last minute. This one involved something about the lesser moon of Dalamud, the Astral and Umbral eras, and some other forbidden knowledge that I am not at liberty to reveal at this time (one of the writers has a misericorde trained on my heart as I write this).

Oh, and to quote Catapult, lunar and solar have been determined in clinical studies to sound up to 75% "more awesome." :)

Agreed! And awesomeness is requeriment here...or the miqo'tes would never wear them! ^^

Hmm, we sure the Others are not involved? Or the Black Smoke, possibly? :rolleyes:

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the updates on Dalamud and the Eorzean eras in 1.19. :cool:

Lunar isn't the color, its just a description, at least that's how I think of it. If it was "royal halter, and royal tanga" would you be arguing that "royal" is not a color, or would you think "these are bathing suits that are royal" Now if you were like "lunar bathing suit doesn't make sense as an adjective in anyway" I would of agreed with you. Unless they tie it in like "this material came from the moon" or "it being shiny grey reminded the devs of some shiny metal crap on space ships" I have no clue why it's called lunar, but it doesn't have to be a color.
